    <div class="content"><p><a href="http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com/node/56">BIE</a>'s legal limbo appears to be <em>finally</em> drawing to a close.  Mr. Fruetel has posted to the <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bie-developer">bie-developer</a>
list that the BIE product has been sold by Brunswick and that the new
owner is interested in seeing the project go forward. I hope to be able
to post more good news soon. You can see Mr. Fruetel's message in the
rest of this story.<br>

I'll wait for Glance to make an official announcement, but it looks like<br>
BIE/Redberri is getting a second chance at life.  It's my understanding<br>
that BIE/RedBerri has been sold by Brunswick.  The new ownwer is<br>
interested in keeping BIE/Redberri going and has contacted myself and a<br>
few other people.<br>
</cite><cite><br>
Now that the sale has been finalized, I think it's time to get together<br>
and do some serious enhancements to BIE.  I believe the first thing to<br>
do is put together a product roadmap for future releases.<br>
</cite><cite><br>
Here are a few things I'd like to see in a 6.1 release and possibly a<br>
later 7.0 release.<br>
</cite><cite><br>
Release 6.1<br>
Better security Implementation<br>
Migrate to JDK 1.5<br>
Migrate to JBOSS 4.x<br>
Migrate to HSQLDB 1.8.0<br>
Migrate to newer eXist<br>
Better integration of mapping tool<br>
Better support for Web Services<br>
Support for XMLBlaster and better support for JMS<br>
</cite><cite><br>
And for a possible 7.0 version,<br>
BPEL Support<br>
Integration with SOA tools (WPS, etc)<br>
Development of Open Source 'Satellite' (SBIE)<br>
Interactive debugging<br>
</cite><cite><br>
What else should be added to the product roadmap?<br>
</cite><cite><br>
